scene 5

The production of the fifth scene involved the importing of the Drax globe and the champagne bottle.

A camera  is used to zoom the view of the spray of bubbles from the champagne bottle that propel the Drax globe. The champagne bubbles were created by using the super spray tool which allows particle generation, size and motion to be selected.

The bubbles were given a glass refractive surface by choosing the phong setting under the shader basic parameters, changing the specular level to 84, the glossiness to 10 and setting the diffuse colour to the mid point between black and white. Under the maps rollout raytrace was selected on the refraction map box and the slot dragged to the bubbles.

The animation was created by setting the bubbles, champagne bottle and Drax globe close to the camera. Autokey is then set and the objects moved to their finishing point furthest from the camera where autokey is then deselected.
